For years I hated the modern explorers, looked at them with discust. The 3-6-9 font bothered me. But now all of the sudden i kinda want one! Just not in that pu$$y 36mm!

Hehe stirrin' up your pot, hehe baby wrists Hehe! Hehe!

39 is more sport

36 is dressy - it wears smaller than 36mm Datejust and almost feels like a 34mm

Has anyone heard from factories or TDs if Clean plans to make a v2 and if so when they expect to produce? Considering holding out until then for hopefully an improved case.

the chance of a v2 is pretty slim. Clean is focusing on releasing new models and improving higher demand models. Even the Datejust 36 wimbledon 9 marker hasn't been updated and that's a more popular model than explorer.

Thank you for this new VS thread @steve_theonewatches

I recently fell in love with the 39mm Explorer 1 (I have the BP right now). I don't know if there would be much to say after this comparison with the 36mm, but if it's worth the work I'd looove a Gen vs Clean thread for the 39.
I would too, but I'd bet it's just as good as the 36.

Just done a power reserve test. VR3230 on Explorer clocks in 68 hours. so the VR3230 also got upgraded like VR3235. Surprisingly the upgraded PR didn't get advertised at all by Clean.

When you got the watch?
It can be interesting to show the movement removing case back

Just got my 39mm Explorer (Clean). I only just set the time so I will have to check back with accuracy. As far as the fit and finish:
The crown winds flawlessly
The bracelet is solid and a quality piece with nice clicks of the double clasp function and quick lengthening/shortening function of bracelet operation is seamless.
I’ve went over the face with a jeweler’s magnifying glass with LED function and I can not find a flaw with the numeral/mark placement or design as well as all the correct marking detail and locations being in order.
I will not remove the film on the bracelet for a few days) as advised by Steve (theonewatch) so it will be returnable if needed, but the film is transparent and I can not discern any issue whatsoever.
I am very satisfied thus far. This is my first Rep purchase and I would again like
To thank this community and it’s staff.
hi, I would also like to get the 39 mm and I would like to know who bought it from if it is as close to the gen as the 36 mm.
Thanks and sorry if this is a beginner's question

Friend, if you like 39mm at today your best choice can be only for clean factory. They made a good job for 36 and 39, so go ahead with your order!
